Therapeutic Exercise

Our goal is to direct our patients towards long–term relief and wellness. We teach them special exercises designed to help strengthen and correct their individual problems and physiological needs. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. This enhances the treatment process and helps maintain healing benefits, as well as reducing the likelihood of future problems.

1.) PARTIAL SIT-UP
We start with what most people believe to be the best back pain exercise. Because people who have back pain will not be able to do a full sit up, we encourage them to do partial ones, like so:

Lie on the floor with a pillow supporting your neck and bend both knees (keep your feet on the floor). Now, raise your hands and slowly reach for your knees. You don't have to raise your lower back or mid back; just raise your head, neck and upper back. Hold this position for 5 seconds before going back to the original position.

Because it is very easy to do, we suggest that you do it as many times as possible in a day - 50 repetitions take only minutes. Make it your daily routine.
